That was an excellent Q3.

Button will run P3?

 

[Limejuice]

Oh, Hulk still has a steward's thing.

 

[Limejuice]

If tomorrow's wet Button could have a very good race, starting from 3rd.

Is there an outside chance Jenson could replace Palmer at Renault, they really need a development driver

If Jenson is pragmatic about the money, yes. Why not?

Renault are a team that has championship history. They don't want to be in the bottom half of the constructors. That means using top echelon drivers. Jolyon, I'm sorry to say...

I Know there has been a lot of talk about him going to Williams, but if Massa is happy to stay in F1 for another year why would Williams change him for Jenson? I don't think he will stay at McLaren so Renault looks like a good move for both him and the team

I wonder why F1 doesn't use those inflatable kerbs, they would really slow the cars down so the drivers would stay off them and wouldn't be dangerous

Indeed. I get the impression that a good fit is important to Williams, and the two drivers they have are.

Although it looks like a done deal at McLaren that Stoffel will get promoted, it wouldn't do Jenson's popularity at McLaren any ahrm to bring home a bucket of points tomorrow.

How good is it to see Jenson smile

When he's happy, he could give happy lessons to Danny Ricciardo.

OK my dog has her legs crossed so I need to take her out

See you tomorrow for what I hope will be a great race

 

[Limejuice]

Okay. The Red Bull team are wearing Lederhosen.

You were warned.

Good Morning

weather forecast looks like light rain but the wind will decide if it gets there for the race

 

[Limejuice]

I'd quite like some mixed up conditions, if only to help Jenson out a bit.

Poor old Jenson, he was so excited to be up the front of the grid but his race will just see him drop further and further down the leader-board

Ted the FIA are on-top of the heated wheels they are going to measure the pressure before the tyres are put on the car, read your FIA press releases

The stands are almost empty

Martin knows what he is talking about, the hubs that Ted said were for heating the wheels (and therefore tyre pressure) are in fact for heating the brakes Ted

The stands are almost empty

There's no-one overlooking the start grid.

Are they all VIPS getting force-fed gluhwein and schnitzel?

yes the ones in front of the start line on both sides also look empty, doesn't look good for the German GP if they can't get people here, I have a feeling the German GP could drop off the calendar very soon.

I was interested to hear that the British GP isn't sold out yet, I'm sure it will be by the day of the race

Two-way driving on the grid.

A drop of rain now would be great for Jenson

I'm finding hard to understand why Kimi hasn't past Jenson yet

 

[Limejuice]

I'm finding hard to understand why Kimi hasn't past Jenson yet

Maybe Kimi's being patient, waiting fro a clean pass, rather than tangle unnecessarily with a slow car,

 

[Limejuice]

Or waiting for lucky lap 7...

Yeah, like that, but in lederhosen...

Any penalty for Werlein reversing on the grid?
